Twelve Casino games in one definitely sounds like a great idea for a gambling game. There are many different versions of single games out there, so why not make a game that that contains all of them? Well, unfortunately for Jackpot Casino, a great idea, and great execution are two different things.

Well, according to Engadget, the iPhone game peripheral is heading into production as we speak. However, without support from Apple and the games developers, I doubt it will be a success… as of now it will only work with jail broken iPhone’s and emulated games.

I’m not sure where the genre originated, but games like Zuma and PuzzleLoop have always held a special place in my gaming heart. The fast-paced nature of these games has always one-upped most other match-the-color puzzle games. Does Blackbeard’s Assault one-up the competition?
